Engine Bay Cleaning
I was cleaning my engine bay and noticed that all of the rubber hoses have what appears to be dried/crystalized antifreeze. I think this happened when I had a pin hole in one of my coolant hoses that sprayed a fine mist of coolant over the engine bay. What is the best thing to use to remove the coolant residue? I tried using simple green and a nylon brush but it's not coming off. Any suggestions on cleansers or methods of removing the residue would be greatly appreciated.

I had a coolant mist dirty up my hoses once. Try wiping them down with a terry cloth wetted with some WD-40 and dressing them up with any product that restores blackness to rubber. That should take care of any whitish stains.

I'd use some sort of tire dressing before the Armor All. I can't remember what I used one time that started to discolor and eventually looked white because it wasn't meant to withstand the high heat of our FD engine compartments.
